Hello there I have a question. Does anyone knows if the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi USB Connector works with the DSi? Thanks

Thanks for your answer. How much is it cost?

It would, except that Nintendo has discontinued the USB Connector for the time being. I haven't been able to get on to the internet for weeks.

Sorry I don't understand you, PhoenixSage, Do you mean that the USB Connector doesn't work now?

This is what Nintendo's site has to say on the matter:

Important: The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector has been discontinued until further notice. As an alternative for on-line access, Nintendo DS owners can use a standard wireless router or Hotspot location.

It stopped working for me about a month ago, so I went to the site and saw this. It hasn't worked at all for me since then. So I would say stay away from the USB connector for the time being.

Well in my house I have Wi-Fi but some reason the DS games can't detected. Could I use the Usb on my laptop and make the DSi use that internet?

Nope, sorry, emiru69. I tried running it through my laptop as well and it didn't work that way either. Unfortunaely, you're going to need to find some way of getting on the internet without using the USB connector.

Thanks you safe me some money. Its kind of annoying that I can have internet on the DSi not on the DS games.

No problem, you guys, I'm glad to help you out. I'd be better if it didn't mean my only option for getting online with Wii/DS is worthless now, but I'm rolling with it. So far.

You can buy a wireless router for around the same price (though it won't be top of the line). That's what I did and am still working on connecting to it (need to move in to my new apartment first)

Actually I have a router, but I'm useless in this kind of stuff, I have no idea how to change the WEP. I will need to talk with some friend or something.

I have a Linksys brand router that works great, I suggest getting one for the Wii/DS/DSi/laptop etc...

FATEM

I think you're having the same problem I am.Is your internet connection for the DSi in advanced settings? Because DS games cant use those connections/

Seems like they are trying to direct ppl into buying the more expensive option, a dsi, and that really blows if they are doing that... (I have a dsi and am a proud owner, just sayin'...)
